Cubs fall short in finale


Bullpen blows the game

Marquis goes 6 innings, gives up one run

Quote:
CINCINNATI -- The Cubs missed opportunities Thursday and the Cincinnati Reds didn't.
Scott Hatteberg belted a two-run homer in the eighth, but the damage came in the seventh when pinch-hitter Jeff Conine hit a game-tying RBI single and then scored on a passed ball to help the Cincinnati Reds beat the Cubs, 5-2.

"We did have opportunities," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. "We had 10 base hits. We certainly had a chance to score a lot more than two runs."
